We can generally use the Infobright Community Edition, which is available at no cost, for data warehouse and data mart presentation areas and reporting, analytical, and machine-generated-data databases. In addition, we can often use this free edition of Infobright for complete data warehouses and data marts by using the MyISAM storage engine for the staging area. For clients who prefer a support subscription, faster loading, distributed loading, and/or the ability to use the Brighthouse storage engine for the staging area, we can use the Infobright Enterprise Edition, which is available at an annual subscription cost per terabyte. For clients who prefer an "integrated hardware/software solution ... [scalable] to 144 terabytes of data in a single appliance node", we can use the Infopliance.
